+	* final.c (get_attr_length_1): Replace GET_CODE check with a
+	dyn_cast, introducing local "seq" and the use of methods of
+	rtx_sequence.
+	(shorten_branches): Likewise, introducing local "body_seq".
+	Strengthen local "inner_insn" from rtx to rtx_insn *.
+	(reemit_insn_block_notes): Replace GET_CODE check with a
+	dyn_cast, strengthening local "body" from rtx to rtx_sequence *.
+	Use methods of rtx_sequence.
+	(final_scan_insn): Likewise, introducing local "seq" for when
+	"body" is known to be a SEQUENCE, using its methods.
